My Colon cancer was found one year ago and I had the resection surgery. All went well. I've had no problems other than continuing watery diarrhea.
At the time of the colon surgery, they were looking at a small Nodule on a CT scan and determined that it was impossible to biopsy in soft tissue at the bottom of the right lung.
So barely 7 weeks later, I had lung wedge resection surgery.
All went well again with no problems.
I would be honest and say that the lung surgery is the more painful of the two without question.
You come home and tough it out for awhile and all is good.
My colon doctor and my Lung doctor were both certain that all cancer had been removed in each surgery. And based on that, I decided on my own, to not be involved with any chemo. Yes, I am taking a risk.
So far, so good.
Realistically, it will probably catch up with me one day, but I'm 73 so it is what it is. I have no fear of dying.
